Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota RAV4 Prime than in the Audi SQ5, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Toyota RAV4 Prime offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi SQ5, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi SQ5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota RAV4 Prime, which has a much lower MSRP.
